Death
Hey guys!
So, I am half-ass back, but I wanted to add to this story just like I did with Thanksgiving (if you haven't read it, you shouldβgo check it out) since a handful of you guys have wanted this story to keep going. So, I present to you the continuation of "My Love."
P.S. I have no idea how I will end this, and I am just going to wing it like I did with Thanksgiving. Let's see what happens, shall we

"THEY COULD STILL HURT YOU! I don't want you talking to them again!"
"Hell no! Last time I checked, I didn't have to ask you who I should or shouldn't be friends with! I can make my judgment!"
"See, this is why I wish I would have never imprinted, especially on someone like you! Why can't you just listen?!" I say. In that second, you can hear a pin drop. The words flew out before I could stop them. Usually, I have control over what I say in our argument, but this time, I couldn't.
"Wowβ¦Bet." Y/n said. Fuck. I groan and follow her outside.
"Paul!" Sam calls out to me
"It's fine Sam, the truth comes out one way or another. Snout, let's go, baby!" Y/n walks out the front door and towards her car. I reach out to grab her hand that was holding Snout's leash. It slips, and Snout runs towards and into the woods across the street. Y/n runs after Snout, and everything goes in slow motion. Not paying attention to the truck coming, her body slammed by a truck speeding by, and she instantly hit and cracked her skull on the asphalt. I run to her hold her in my arms until the ambulance comes as her life slips away. And that's when my life came to a stop. All I hear are sirens in the distance and the feeling of warm thick liquid dripping onto my skin and clothes.
EMTs come and try to take her from my arms, but I resist until Sam and Jared make me let go. I watch as they strap the love of my life to the gurney and put her inside of the truck.
"Shit," Brady said. I look over and see Snout, dead, next to the truck's tire. His leash got caught against something and dragged him, snapping his neck. I couldn't help but lose it at that point. I tried to run before I was aware of doing so, but I was stopped by Embry. The cops want to talk to me and ask what happened. Somehow, I could answer some of the questions, but I could feel myself breaking down as I told them what had happened.
Thus, leading us up to here.
Present-day: September 2nd
I could hear itβthe final heartbeats. Carlisle and Edward rushed in as we listened to the final intake of breath and the thumping of her heart. After the last one, we'll know which path she decided to take.

CurrentlyβThird POV
Time officially stopped for Paul as he stared at the love of his life, his reason for existing, his mate, everything that completes him. Eventually, he lets out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in when he saw Y/n twitch. Although he had some doubt afterward, afraid he just saw things in hopes she was "alive," however, it wasn't until her nose started twitching and he could see movement behind her eyelids. Paul felt something within and on his face that he had not felt since their argument at Sam and Emily's place. Relief, happiness, reassurance, and a smile. Regardless, if she never wants him againβwhich he hopes isn't trueβhe is just happy to see her alive. Although, if she doesn't want him, it will kill him to live without her, and he only prays that she forgives him.
"Why isn't she waking up. She's moving, but she isn't⦠what's wrong?" Paul asked anxiously. Carlisle placed a hand on his shoulder and chuckled at the young wolf's eagerness.
"Patience. Sometimes it is hard for a newborn vampire to adapt to this new world once it awakens. Just like when an infant is bornβyou don't expect them to open up their eyes immediately, do you? Just like newborns, her senses have to adapt to the environment before she can allow herself to rise." Paul relaxed a little bit to Carlisle's explanation.
"I can read her," Edward says, catching their attention. "She is trying to remember what happened, and her mind is reminding her of everyone, everything, her memories, all of it. It's fascinating- OUCH!" Edward drops to the ground holding his head. Before Carlisle can assess him, Edward yells out again and then shivers.
"Edward! What is it?!" Carlisle rushed to his son's side, helping him stand. Before Edward could attempt to respond, Carlisle received the same treatment as Edward, only this time Carlisle couldn't stop scratchingβthe excruciating pain that came with it was not helping either. Carlisle's pain and scratching stopped instantly, and he became frozen, cold, almost paralyzed. All while Edward was recovering, now trying to help Carlisle, Paul stood in awe as to what was happeningβpraying to the Moon Goddess, the Cosmos, the Elements of the Rainbow, hell, even Barney if he had to, for him to not experience whatever it was that was going on with them. He turned his head back towards his mate and slightly shook. There she was, his beautiful mate, sitting straight up, feet dangling off the bed, looking into his honey-brown eyes with herβ¦Lilac eyes? What the fuck.
Her intense gaze made Paul shiver in delight and slightly uneasiness. Not because she was a vampire, but because she looked almostβ¦Pissed? Relief? Curious? He couldn't really tell. Keeping his eyes on her, she turned her head to face the other two men recovering from some unknown attack. Until another one came on, Carlisle and Edward passed out and remained in a sleeping state for 30 seconds or so before waking up.
"What the hell is going on?!" Carlisle says, losing his shit on the ground, now completely paralyzed and numbed.
"Itβs her! Paul, tell her to stop!β Edward screams. Y/n turns her head towards him.
βYeahβ¦I donβt think I will.β Paul states. He would have to be an absolute idiot to tell her to stopβnot because he doesnβt appreciate their help, but because heβs just not stupid, and clearly, he knows what would happen if he did.
ββ¦Paulβ¦β Y/n says in a whisper. Instantly Edward and Carlisle can break free and take a few unnecessary gasps of air before continuing onward. Paul looks at his mate's lilac eyes and nods his head. She stands up and slowly walks towards him before signally him to bend over so she could whisper in his ear. He does as follow and is shocked by what she says next.
βYouβre lucky I canβt do what I did to them. Next time you try to tell me what to do that may or may not result in my death, I will end your life. Understood?β Y/n said with an innocent smile. Paul looked at her in the eyes with both fright and amusement. Fright for apparent reasons and amusement because he finally has his soul mate back.
βYes maβam.β He smiles but then expresses pain, βY/nβ¦I am so fucking sorry. You donβt know how much I regret what I did and said to you, my love.β Paul then drops to his knees and wraps his arms around Y/n's waists while begging for forgiveness. βPlease, I beg you, forgive me for everything. The pain I put you through, the choice I made for you. All of it. Please Y/n.β Paul says through tears, looking up at her. Y/n, gently as possible, runs her nails through Paulβs hair and smiles.
βGive me time. I remember everything, and I justβ¦I just need time. But I donβt want to leave youβI donβt think I can. Youβre a dumbass, but youβre my dumbass and, unfortunately, my responsibility now.β Y/n says jokingly. She pulls Paul up to his feet and smiles up at him, βFor now, let's take it slowβ¦I am still your mate, but I need some space from it, for now, my love. Okayβ¦β Paul nods his head. Granted, itβs not at all what he wanted, but he understood. Through this, he matured and understood some things. Not only from this but from talking to his fatherβthe death of his mother killed him, and he grieved in an unhealthy way. He can change that perception and learn from his father's mistake while also learning patience is a virtue for a relationship. He would do anything in the world for his mateβeven if it involved waiting a lifetime for her to be his again.
βCan Iβ¦can I have one kiss. Nothing big like making out, but just one. Going so long without you like I did and seeing you awakeβplease, justβ¦just one, and I promise I wonβt ask for another. Iβll allow you to take the leadβ¦ just, plea-β Y/n shut him up by giving him just that. A simple kiss. Something she, too, was craving. It would suffice their hunger to be together until she felt like it was the right time. But in the meantime, the kiss they shared wasnβt rushed, wasnβt hard or anything. It was slowly filled with need and emotions. If Y/n could cry, she would; it didnβt help that Paul shed a few tears in the midst of it. Forgetting about the world around them, Paul and Y/n laid down on the bed and just embraced each other. Soon enough, even breathing and resounding snores from Paul could be heard.
Meanwhile, Carlisle and Edward left the room as soon as possible (mainly to avoid being more test subjects for Y/n) to allow the lovers some privacy. Meeting up with their cousins, they explained what happened and the situation they are currently in. Carlisle and Edward called home to explain the situationβEsme and Bella not particularly happy with them being attacked; Rosalie and Emmett dying in the background full of laughter over Edwards sufferingβthen decided to head out to go hunting for a few hours. They knew Paul would be asleep for a while, and Y/n wouldnβt want to leave his side, so they decided to take their time.
For a moment, just a moment, did everything seem peaceful and relaxing for Paul and Y/n, and they planned on savoring that moment until they had to go back to La Push/Forks to discuss the next steps. But for now, Paul is just happy to have his mate back.
My Love
